Introduction: Predicting factors related to the severity and mortality of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients can significantly help in better management of their treatment. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between pulmonary radiologic findings based on the Warrick score and COVID-19 patients’ outcomes. Patients and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 436 COVID-19 patients hospitalized at Shahid Mohammadi hospital in Bandar Abbas. Pulmonary radiologic findings were scored based on the Warrick score. Outcomes of COVID-19 patients, including disease severity and mortality, were followed. Independent T-test and binary logistic regression were conducted to explore the correlation between the pulmonary radiologic findings and patients’ outcomes. Results: Results showed that the correlation between pulmonary radiologic findings with both disease severity and mortality was significant, since higher pulmonary involvement caused greater severity and mortality. The Warrick score difference between dead and recovered patients and low and high disease severity were significant, therefore greater Warrick score caused more disease severity and mortality. Conclusion: Pulmonary radiologic findings based on the Warrick score can use as a predictor of COVID-19 patients’ outcomes.
